After I uploaded the PDF to Google Drive, I noticed a couple of scene locations that are still bold and underlined...but that's minor. This is the first 13 pages into the rewrite.

Logline: An aging bounty Hunter and a US Marshal with questionable morals transport a young, notorious criminal across Arizona. When their stagecoach is ambushed, the group to make a stop in the town of Ajo - a place that holds secrets for some and answers for others.

Feedback: this is a rewrite of a full feature and I'd like help with tone and how I kick off the story. Also interested in the western specific dialogue.

I generally like the loginline, though I didn't get a western feel from it. I assumed on reading it, it was contemporary. You might want to put a word or two in at the start to tell us when we are.

You didn't get the western feel from the intro or the entire piece? I could see the intro maybe confusing...maybe.

As for the remaining pages, I figured with locations, manner of speaking, horses, the guns, etc, the time frame would have been apparent.

I didn't want to open with a superimposed line stating the location/year.

Just the log line.

I've not looked at the script, yet.

Ahh ok that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying...I'll update the logline.
